Pests and diseases

    When the crop was introduced, there were no major pest and disease problems for this plant. But of late, blight caused by Rhizoctonia spp. a soil borne fungus, Phytocoris rosmarini and Orthotylus ribesi have been reported. Mancozeb (1%) can be sprayed on the crop and drenching may be done at an interval of 8-10 days to keep these diseases under control.
